[release] Pointy for avetunes (an exercise in mouse overs)

something simple with mouse overs right and left text version with white and black text each

enjoy

thought this one might not catch as many peoples interest as my others have. For those that have downloaded it what were the main things you liked about it, disliked about it. Also those who may not download those because its not really your style would you mind trying it out and letting me know what you like about it if anything and maybe let me know what type of skin youwould like to see. trying to get some feedback for my next skin ideas.

I tested your skin. And it's now the skin I'm using for this week (and mb for more).

I quite like it.

Good points :

- Design

- Simplicity

- White or Black text to be compatible with all the wallpapers

Less good points :

- Controls are too little : I often have to click 4 or 5 times to be able to play the next or the previous song. Mb it's because of my resolution (1400x1050) but it's not really easy to click in a square of 1 or 2 pixels (well, mb a little more...) Of course, I could edit the skin myself, but I guess I'm too lazy.

- Same for the rate of a song. The "stars" are quite hard to be clicked (but less hard than the next and previous buttons)

- The isn't a button to hide/show iTunes (in fact, it's just a feature I like to have in a skin but it's not really a pb)

Nevertheless, Great work. Thanks !

hmm.. I'll look into the controls because the actual button size should be a bit larger than the button on the skin so as long as you click any part of the drawn button it should work. The mouse over buttons should be 15 pixels in from each of the corners. Just so you know the buttons are either 15x15 pixels or 15x20 pixels I'll go through the ini's again to see if anything is fouled up in the code. (Don't think is your resolution as I run at 1920x1200 )

The ratings I'll have to play with because of how its drawn in avetunes I have to make sure it has a certain height to width ratio or you may end up with like 3.5 stars checked when you only want two. Keep the suggestions coming and I'll do my best to implement as many as I can in this and any new skins I make.

Eh. My biggest problem with it is just the looks. I like simple, but, I dunno if Im really into triangles...

#300502

yer i have to say as well that triangles don't really stack up well on desktops....maybe if it was a right angled triangle people could put it in the corners of their desktops!....i think thats quite a good idea....

#300503

yeah I kinda figured the triangle wouldn't be to popular.....thanks for the suggestion of using a right angle triangle maybe I'll look into making one that rotates to fit in whichever corner the user would like.

is there any feedback on the mouse overs do you like them or would you rather have the button already be there.

thanks for your comments and suggestions
